Ingredients

Brussels Sprouts Tacos Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small white onion peeled and diced
  • 1 pound brussels sprouts halved and ends trimmed off
  • 3 poblano peppers cored and diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans rinsed and drained
  • corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 batch avocado sauce (see below)
  • crumbed queso fresco or cotija cheese

Creamy Avocado Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 large ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • 1 cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon water

Instructions

How To Make The Brussels Sprouts Tacos:

  • Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat.  Add onion and saute for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Add brussels sprouts, poblano peppers and garlic, and stir to combine.  Continue sauteing for 4-5 more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brussels sprouts are softened and cooked through.  Stir in the black beans and cook for 1 more minute to warm through.  Remove pan from the heat and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, as the veggies are sauteing, make your sauce.  (See instructions below.)
  • Once you’re ready to assemble the tacos, place the 3-4 tortillas on a plate covered with a damp paper towel and microwave for 10-20 seconds until they are warmed through.  Remove the tortillas, and fill them with a few spoonfuls of the brussels sprouts filling, a heaping spoonful of sauce, and a few pinches of the crumbled cheese.  Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  • Serve warm, garnished with extra lime wedges for serving if desired.

How To Make The Creamy Avocado Sauce:

  • Place all ingredients except the water in a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth.  Add in the water 1/4 cup at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.  Serve with the tacos immediately.
